Every time Kentucky coach John Calipari starts to praise his latest crop of talented freshmen, he's just as quick to point out that it is a work in progress. Kentucky - with a collection of high school All-Americans - was ranked No. 1 in The Associated Press' preseason Top 25, a significant step considering the Wildcats finished 21-12 last season and were upset by Robert Morris in the first round of the NIT. It's Kentucky's third preseason No. 1 and first since 1995-96 when the Wildcats won the national championship. Kentucky was ranked for just one week in the final 16 polls of last season but Calipari enters this season with a roster featuring two returnees - Alex Poythress and Willie Cauley-Stein - and six freshmen who were selected McDonalds All-Americans last season.
